Do your research before you have your Daddy buy it for you. If you plug your little balancing plugs in before you plug in your total power pack plugs you don't give the strongest charged battery the time required to equally distribute its electrons. (Posted on 10/3/2016)

For PL8 versionReview by Bill

First use smoked the board with the FMA PL8 charger. Charger and batteries are OK. Packs were same size and discharge state.

ProgressiveRC Comment: There are many possible reasons why this board might have been damaged. The most common cause is a balance connector being connected upside down or misaligned when other packs are already connected. This will usually just burn a trace on the board that can be easily repaired. Please also note that this board is rated to a maximum 30A charge, while the PL8 is capable of up to 40A.(Posted on 9/10/2016)

The parallel charge boards from Progressive work great! After using them for a couple weekends of flying, I will not go back to charging without them. On mine, the EC5 connector is actually just a tiny bit looser than the standard EC5's that I use on my heli, so the charge lead plugs and unplugs very easily! I don't know if this is by design, or just luck, but it is a nice feature. I hear this question alot, too... so in case you are wondering: It does NOT matter which connectors you use on the board... they are all connected in parallel, so you can use whichever ones are the easiest to plug into =) EG: The top right EC5 connector, and the bottom-left balance connector. Does not matter. Enjoy!! (Posted on 6/17/2013)

Works fine and seems to be of very good quality. My only problem with it is that it is very fiddly when loading the board up with 6 5000mah packs. Helps if you have small fingers as there is not a lot of room to get all the power and balance leads all plugged in. Squids are easier to deal with in that respect but not as tidy.
